Taking the cue from the 1970s hit TV show Charlie's Angels, Indonesia has hired three "fashionable cops" in an attempt to improve public distrust in an institution seen as corrupt.

Indonesia's police force hired three female cops that "seem more at home on a fashion catwalk than in a congested street" to deliver a daily traffic report for the morning and evening news, according to the Christian Science Monitor.

Eny Regama, Avvy Olivia Atam and Eka Yulianti help monitor traffic in Jakarta's near 10 million residents every morning.

"This is one way of building a good relationship between police and people," Atam told CS Monitor.

Prime Minister Najib Razak may have left Perth, Australia for Mecca, where he is due to perform the Umrah prayers to cleanse himself and to atone to God before focusing on the 13th general elections.

But Australians, especially the Perth retailers, sure remember him and his family during their latest visit there for CHOGM meeting.

Despite raging debate at the summit, with former Malaysian premier Abdullah Badawi heatedly championing a common stand amongst Commonwealth nations to prevent abuse of human rights, the placid Najib still managed to steal his own thunder.

Over the weekend, Najib was snapped dozing off in the middle of a speech by another head of government. The picture was flashed all around cyberspace and created much rude laughter in Malaysia.

AN18-YEAR-OLD prostitute, who was abandoned by her husband after only seven days of marriage, brings her 15-month-old daughter when she is out soliciting for clients to avoid suspicion, reported Harian Metro.

The woman said she enjoyed being a prostitute as she could satisfy her high sex drive and make money at the same time.

“I realise I am in high demand as the men need not feel responsible if I become pregnant,” she said.

She added that she married a man chosen by her family at the age of 14 before her husband left her after a week.

The woman said her daughter was with her every night to ensure no one suspected her late night activities.

“I do not care as long as I have money to put food on the table and buy necessities like milk and diapers,” she said,

She claimed she had never turned down any man as long as he could afford to pay.

“I normally sleep with two or three men at different locations every night,” she said.

Islamic medicine practitioner Ustaz Mohd Zamri, who is treating her, said her high sex drive had caused her to act wildly.

LOS ANGELES - Reality TV star Kim Kardashian filed for divorce yesterday, just 72 days after marrying basketball player Kris Humphries in a lavish wedding that was billed as a “fairytale.”

Kardashian, 31, star of the TV show “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court citing irreconcilable differences.

“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best,” Kardashian said in a statement.
